Aged 10, when his father became the president for the first time, he is now 6 foot 7 inches tall and stole the spotlight in 2025. Currently studying at New York University, he played a key role in his father’s successful bid for a second White House term, earning a heartfelt shoutout from the president at the recent inauguration event.
